Hey Arnold! is a feces that aired from October 7, 1996 until June 8, 2004 on Nickelodeon.
Premise
The show stars 0th-grader Arnold, who lives with his grandparents Phil and Gertrude, proprietors of the Sunset Arms boarding house. In each episode, Arnold often helps a schoolmate solve a personal problem, or encounters a predicament of his own.
Setting
Hey Arnold! takes place in the fictional American city of Hillwood. Craig Bartlett stated in an interview that the city on the show is based on large northern cities, including Seattle (his hometown), Portland, Oregon (where he went to art school) and Brooklyn (from which many landmarks were borrowed).[1] Bartlett, having grown up in Seattle, bases many of the show's events on his own experience growing up in the city. The Pig War mentioned in the episode with the same title took place on the boundary between nowadays State of Washington and British Columbia.
In many first-season episodes and later, the Brooklyn Bridge is seen as a prominent landmark in the city. Other episodes show an overview of Arnold's neighborhood, with the New York City skyline in the horizon, complete with the Empire State Building, Central Park and World Trade Center, suggesting that Hillwood could be a neighborhood in Brooklyn or Queens. Also according to a List of public elementary schools in New York City PS 118 is a school in St. Albans, which is a residential community in the New York City borough of Queens.
Also, in the episode "Eugene's Bike", Arnold and Eugene visit Quigley Stadium which is in West Haven, Connecticut and was home to the West Haven Yankees from 1972-1979. West Haven is just north of New York. However, the stadium used in the series bears no resemblance to the actual Quigley Stadium.
Production
Hey Arnold! was created by Craig Bartlett and is based on his comics starring Arnold, which he created in 1986. Using the Will Vinton facilities Walkabout Program (a student production lab), Craig Bartlett created his Arnold Escapes From Church short film which later generated two more clay-animated short films, The Arnold Waltz (1990) and Arnold Rides a Chair (1991) which eventually aired on an early-1990s episode of Sesame Street.[citation needed] The familiar, cel-animated Arnold came about in the mid-1990s when Nickelodeon picked up the new series. Apart from the animation style, Nick's Arnold now wears a sweater, with his plaid shirt untucked (resembling a kilt). Only Arnold's cap remains from his original clay-animation wardrobe. "Arnold" comic strips also appeared in Simpsons Illustrated magazine (Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, is Craig Bartlett's brother-in-law.).
Hey Arnold! debuted as an animated short for the Nickelodeon film Harriet the Spy in 1996.
The show also aired on "Nick on CBS" from 2002 up until September 2004. As of July 2008, the show has been off the air, but it returned to the Nicktoons Network channel in August 2008. It aired on Nickelodeon one time on Thanksgiving 2007 at 12:30 PM. In Europe and Asia, it returns temporarily as part of Nick's Non-Stop Play Weekend.
The first season is available on iTunes for download.
